Hi.
Normally a url to an article in our CMS system would look roughly like
this: http://www.dom.tld/aritcles/25245
Where 25245 would be an object of some metatype, say 'article'.
Now what if I wanted to get the data for that page from an sql server
instead, I would expect to end up with a url like this:
http://www.dom.tld/aritcles/index_html?id=25245
Now, having recently read the Roy Fielding paper, and expecting to do
some caching, I would much prefer to have it the first way, even when I
have to get the data out of a DB.
Anybody have any ideas on how this might be done?

How about Apache rewrite rules or a script called index_html that fetches
the object by its ID? That's pretty much boring straight-forward stuff :-)
